dict was rendered in accordance

EXCITEMENT IN MEXICO.
Reported Discovery of Two of the Lest
Mexican Bonanza Mines.

Reported Discovery of Two of the Lest
Mexican Bonanza Mines.
CITY OF MEXICO, April 27.-The dis
covery is announced here OF two OF the
seven lost Mexican bonanza mines by an
American party of prospectors. Humboldt
and Hamilton speak of the fabulous wealth
obtained from these mines by the Span
iards. They were worked up to the mid
die of the last century. In 1856 the Indians
swept over Northern Mexico and de-
stroyed chihuahua and all the miners
were driven out. The Indians held con-
troll of the country so long that all records
were lost. Recently Lieutenant Ripper,
formerly of the United States army;
w. X. Glenn, of Illinois; Captain
Allen and j. McIntire, of Chicago,
went out on surveying expe-
dition in the interest of Sonora land
company and in an old chapel found maps
and other data. Dividing into four small
parties, thorough ssoarch was begun, and
McIntire's party located what is believed
to be the Layopa silver mine. 1t is in the
midst of thousands OF ruined buildings
among large churches and forts. Within a
radius of four miles are APO workings of old
Spanish furnaces and tons Of Stag. A few
days later another party reported the dis
covery of the Guaynopa in the heart of the
Sierra Madre Mountains. Around it are
the ruins of lis rastoras. Advices from
Nogales confirm the reports and state that
great placer field has been located where
the Jesuirs of 200 years ago found fortunes
for the church. Great excitement in min
ing centers prevails.
The Guaynopa Mine is a free milling
gold mine. 1t is in the heart of the Sierra
Madre Mountains, and the workings are
near the top of conical shaped mountain.
A road hewn through the solid rocks cir
cles around this mountain, starting from
the water at the base and leading to the
mine. One chamber of the mine Is 100
feet wide, 400 feet long and ninety feet
high. This will give an idea of how the
mine was worked BY the SpaniaFds. There
is no dump; every pound of rock has been
taken out and carried down the mountain
and worked, which is evidence that the ore
was homogeneous and all rich enough to go
to the rastora. There are the ruins OF lis
rastoras at the foot of the mountain.
The rastora was the old Spanish and
Mexican stamp mill. Mr.. Power has
claimed this mine for Mr.. Kruse and him.

A cONVICT'S REVOLT.
Desperate Struggle in His Cell With War
den Patten and Captain Royce.
Special TO the Sentinel.


JEFFERsoNvILLE, April 2S.-Quite a seri-
Gus affair happened in the States prison
here to-day. Tom Shepherd is life con-
vict. Lately the Warden lessened his work
somewhat, as he complained that he had
too much to do. Shepherd began Dragging
over his success and advised other convicts
to kick against their daily tesk, and this
has been productive of bad results. This
morning guard went to his cell
60 to work, but was informed by
Shepherd that he did not propose
to work, and that he would kill any per
son who undertook to force him. The
matter was reported to the Warden, who,
in company with Captain Royce and
Guard Howard, went to Shepherds cell to
see what was the trouble. When the
Warden asked him what was the matter,
Shepherd said that he was tired of working
for the State, and proposed to do as he
pleased. The Warden unlocked the cell
door and told him he would give him
Just so many seconds to come out, and if
he did not he would make him. The
order did no good, and Shepherd, stepping
back in his cell and glazing at them like
wild beast, dared them to enter.
The Warden attempted to go in and
seize him, but Jonah Howard slipped in
ahead of him and was struck in the head
tain Royce and Warden Patten then
rushed in, and for q few moments terrific
hand-to-hand fight was had over the fallen
form of Howard. at last they over
powered the convict, and dragged him out.
Howard, who was knocked unconscious
soon revived, and was found to have
received a bad cut in the center of the
forehead. Captain Royce had his arm in.
jured by blow from the weapon, and
Captain Patten had finger knocked out
OF place. The weapon that was used was
piece OF iron in the shape of small dip
per and covered over with wet towel,
which made dangerous weapon.
Shepherd was taken pack to the cell
house and double dose of cato .nine-tails
was administered. After he was thor.
oughly conquered and had given a prom
Use to behave himself he was locked up in
his cell to reflect on the matter. Shep-
herd is one of the worst convicts in that
institution to-day.
